Powders vs Liquids

[intuitive]

Rinso is the best smell & cleaning power BUT Unilever has sent it to the great big laundry bin in the sky
I now like Bio Zet powder closely followed by Surf Tropical powder. I have a Fisher & Paykel Intuitive Eco - IW712. I have been using Bio Zet for years with great results. I have tried all sorts of liquids, they just DONT clean as well as a powder. The F&P likes to be fed thru the agitator, using a warm/cold wash (25c-28C). Sydney has a good water supply & usually dont need to fabric soften the loads... Tumble drying is something only needed in the middle of our winters so 9 months of the year, the dryer just hangs about getting in the way in the laundry,looking bored! Oh bliss off for the weekend to do more washing !!!!!

OMG, SPAM! a corner has been turned, this and the picture thread are giving me the sense of a merry-go-round, going out of control!

So if I shared a new detergent it would be ok, but an altern

Get real, OMG one email to one group of people with common interest, with the option to view the information and nobody twisting your arm, and you call it spamming?

That is so lame! What will you do when you have all the soap you want and no water to wash in or drink?

The detergent market in America is $6 Billion per year. if you bought Tide Powder with that much, it would fill 10 foot shipping containers that would stretch from Vancouver B.C. to Los Angeles, CA and all of that ends up in our waste water!

Seems that someone who wants the best, wants clean safe laundry, and be environmentally sensitive.

Toggleswitch's comments about fillers!

Toggleswitch, If the fillers were sawdust, they would float and stay on top, like a scum they are mostly fine pumace powder, (ground up rock) causes much of the lint in the dryer.
Amways SA-8 didn't work because it didn't have fillers. DUH! it worked so well because it had "surfactants" these negative ion suppliers, added what was needed to let the water become "wetter" by releasing the bond between molecules. when water will stand on a countertop and defy gravity and not flow out, its because of a limited number of ions that the water molecules have to share. When the necessary ions are provided the individual molecules of water can separate and function. This cleans better.

Our new LaundryPure appliance, goes farther and provides not only ions, but oxygenated gases injected into the water, energizing it. No soap, no fillers, cold water, kills bacteria 99.9999% rinses out the gunk from the fibers of the clothes and revolumizes them to fluffier, softer, fresh smelling without ANY CHEMICALS!

don't be a skeptic, just look at the data at www.yourbestlaundry.com/kflint (if you don't want to leave private data, just use xx's to fill registration, but please leave your name, if you will.

correction to my response to toggleswitch

OOooooPs!!!!!

I meant the 40 foot steel shipping containers, not 10 foot.

I need to re read my postings better.

LaundryPure...your tone is a little rude and this is not a site for people to be pushing their wares. Besides there is PLENTY of water in the world to drink, cook, eat, bathe, etc,etc...another flash in the pan "must have" product.

 

[westytoploader]

Bottom line: Detergents are better. Period. Not "electronified" water or whatever the hell it is.

I'm sticking to my Tide, thank you.

Laundrypure,

If you are really interested in this site, you would have lurked for a while before posting.

For the most part, we make an effort to be civil in our postings. In fact, in all our interactions.

However, I cannot remember such a blatant plug for an experimental product.

I hope you do stay around, but kindly try to learn something about the Zeitgeist here, first, please.

Right now, I'm using TideHE liquid for my OasisHE. And yeah, it gets messy, but it's always better when you make a mess ;-). When I get my vintage Kenmore, I'll get some good ol' Tide original scent and use Downy April Fresh. You can't run a vintage Kenmore 800 without Tide and Downy, it wouldn't be right.

I was in the Amway cult, ahem.. business for about a year and tried SA8. I like the fact that it was concentrated and low-sudsing but it was EXPENSIVE! Well, maybe not for an Amway distributor but for someone buying it, holy mackel!

I doubt you will find many people supporting your new technology of cleaning clothes.Please show a little respect when addressing fellow club members.

Long live conventional washing machines!

*Thx*

Ozonepure

Ozonated water is nothing new. It is used in commercial laundries. While known primarily for it's disinfecting properties, it is not know for gentleness to machinery, especially rubber parts. Be that as it may, detergent is still needed, while in a much smaller amount, to help suspend dirt and oils in solution and carry them away with the waste water. As for the faster-drying claim, I have heard this from a number of very reputable sources, but I am dubious of the claim.

There is a coin laundry owner over here in the East (Virginia?, the Carolinas? I can't remember.) that has a state of the art high efficiency, ozonated store that just raves and raves about the benefits of ozone. Again, I am dubious.

Your milage may vary...

Not completely off topic

POWDERS ALL THE WAY!!!

I like a nice powder with not too many extra ingredients so that I can add bleach, borax and brightners when I feel the particular items need it.

It is easier for me to control suds in frontloaders with powders than it is with liquids.

UK Persil tabs. The regular bio tabs have the most dreamy smell, very sanitary and bleach-like. Lovely in towels.

Domestically, give me plain ALL powder. Getting hard to find, but good stuff in my book.

All Powder

PeterH770- you can order ALL Powder from www.gristedes.com..It is a NYC based grocer that carries alot of our favorites such as ALL,Ajax and Yes. I also order my RedPack Canned tomatoes, the best canned tomatoes on the market.
They ship based on the weight of the products ordered.

I"m powders all the way. Never been real fond of liquids. right now I'm using the Sears Stain Fighting Formula (enzymes).

 

[brisnat81]

DriveMatic Powder is my Favorite

No Suds, good rinsing, and everything comes out spotlessly clean.

The downside is, that its the most expensive powder available in the supermarket.

The LaundryPure device reminds me of the control panels on the Whirlpool DD machines. It just needs a cycle knob and some temps.

While I dont necessarily beleive the claims of the Laundry pure device, I do agree that some parts of the world have a dire shortage of potable water.

In South East Queensland where I live, we've now entered Level 3 restrictions which mean no hosing outside the house, everything must be done with buckets. There is now a huge push for homeowners to install water tanks, replace toilets and showers with HE versions, and buy FL washers (Large govt incentives are available)

Without further rainfall in the catchment area, we only have enough water for another 18months, before there is nothing left in storage to drink. They are predicting that in November, Level 4 restrictions will come into place, however they are yet to determine what they will be. Essentially though, it would be no water usage outside the home.

I wont go into the prattle of different options for creating potable water, or push any thing else, but there is a reason for water conservation and not everywhere has billions of litres to waste.

Does anyone know if Final Touch fabric softener has been discontinued?. I was at my local Publix and Winn-Dixie and couldn't find it in either store.

 

[peterh770]

Final Touch has been resurrected by one of those companies like Redox that is trying to bring back old names with new nasty formulas. Look around also for Snowy Bleach and Oxydol.

Where, oh where has my Fresh Start gone?

 

[zipdang]

Where, oh where has my Fresh Start gone?

I see Fresh Start (as well as powdered All) in stores all over the Portland area. Our Wincos sell it for $4-something per bottle. But it's been years since I've seen Final Touch or Snowy. I think Albertson's might still carry Oxydol, but that's about the only place I've spotted it.

 

[angus]

Yes Final Touch has been taken over by Phoenix Brands - the same company that purchased the Colgate detergent brands (Fresh Start, Fab, Ajax and Dynamo. It is widely available here in the Northeast - at least in Connecticut.

probability of precipitation today is high

Don't non-phosphate powders laden with sodium carbonate as a softener combine with the calcium in hard water,forming precipitates such as limestone? That's what laundry manuals often say.
